Talk:One Ok Rock

Deletion?

If you're going to delete this (like it has been done twice now), please explain why first, because I don't see at all how this is an insignificant article. There is in fact, a band called ONE OK ROCK. Eugeniu B (talk) 19:31, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

• There, I've added a few sources, and some information about the band in the History. I'm hoping that's enough to not get this notable (yes, it is) article deleted. Eugeniu B (talk) 21:16, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Clean up

The article/sections need to be clean up (along with the individual member pages). Anyone have suggestions? MagicTricks (talk) 00:15, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Taka

Sorry for confusing that you can not speak English. one ok rock of the real name of Taka has not changed remains "Moriuchi TakashiHiroshi" (Takahiro Moriuchi). Temporarily had been himself a "Morita", 2012 or later will have himself as "Moriuchi". For details, refer to the WIKI of Japanese. Best regards and Masu Onegashi. --Moriyamatomota (talk) 12:38, 1 August 2015 (UTC) 英語ができないのでわかりにくくてすみません。 one ok rockのTakaの本名は、「森内貴寛」（Takahiro Moriuchi）のまま変わっていません。 一時的に「森田」を名乗っていましたが、2012以降は「森内」と名乗っています。 詳しくは、日本語のWIKIをごらんください。 よろしくおねがします。

Hi, I completed your request. Thanks for the information. --MagicTricks (talk) 01:29, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Support split - Discography section takes up close to one quarter of the page, and should be split to a new article entitled One Ok Rock discography. Thoughts? --Jax 0677 (talk) 13:18, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Hatnote

@Tavix: For the sake of responding to the question in your edit summary, Google Trends shows that "one ok" is a related query for Oneok. My search results in Google DuckDuckGo and Wikipedia itself for "one ok" had One Ok Rock as the first Wikipedia result. This is for good reason, as most people searching for "one ok" are looking for the band instead of the company, but there are people looking for the company who may instead stumble on the article for the band. (Should One Ok be a disambiguation page or a redirect to either of the two articles?) feminist 08:58, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

One ok rock article

"Moriuchi sings in" change that line into "Takahiro Moriuchi" sings in, please change that. Last timer (talk) 09:44, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

You need consensus for that. It's standard to use only the last name. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 10:27, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

One Ok Rock awards{{Helpme}}

Reference no.69 informs us that the "Jaded" song was the best collaboration song of 2017, but this thing is only written in history of One Ok Rock, shouldn't we include this as their award in awards and nominations? AllTimeChampion17 (talk) 05:48, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

@AllTimeChampion17: That seems more of an editorial column than an actual award, so probably not. -- I dream of horses  If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message  (talk to me) (My edits) @ 08:11, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Standardizing "OK" in article

The distinction is currently made in the opening paragraph that the band's name is stylized in all caps, which is common in Japanese bands. However, when normalizing the name to standard capitalization, the "OK" part of the band's name should remain in all caps since the English term "OK" is standardly represented in all-caps form. OK is an abbreviation, like USA or NASA.
If there's no good case against this, we should revise the article.

Moving forward on this revision.GimmeChoco44 (talk) 12:27, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

@GimmeChoco44: There is a good case against this. Sorry to reply two years later, but you also only requested this move in August of this year. This is explained in the lead of this article. Have you not read it? I would've thought you had, being a pretty prolific contributor to this article. "Ok" isn't meant to mean the word OK nor be said "okay" here, otherwise I would agree with you, we should capitalise it. "Ok" is pronounced "ock", because it comes from a Japanese pronunciation of the phrase "one o'clock" due to the well-known lack of Ls in native Japanese that become "r"s when pronouncing English words, transliterating them into katakana and so on. It meaning or being said "One okay rock" wouldn't make any sense. Sources, like AllMusic, capitalising OK can very definitely be chalked up to the fact that some Western sources would presume "Ok" must mean the word OK and thus they "correct" it themselves. Ss112 14:15, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

@Ss112: I understand where you're coming from, and the double meaning of "one o'clock" and the common Japanese sounds of "r"/"l" are noted, but this is a secondary interpretation of the band's use of the "OK" term. You can hear vocalist Taka clearly pronounce "OK" at the start of this interview video; so it best serves the interest of new/casual Wikipedia readers to see the "OK" term presented in the format where they can immediately understand the intended pronunciation. --GimmeChoco44 (talk) 05:24, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

@Ss112: It would have been better if you had discussed the page name here in the talk section before your October 14 revert. I'm creating a new section here in the Talk page to poll our editors for a consensus to avoid any back and forth.--GimmeChoco44 (talk) 09:02, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

And I don't believe you should have just been able to request something clearly contentious and explained on the very article you requested a move for at WP:RM/TR and have it done without question. Ss112 16:54, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Genre

Would this article be able to add heavy metal to the genre, or at least in musical style? I found this article when I found out that this band was apparently on list of alternative metal artists but the article did not lead to it, only lead to Mudvayne. What do you think? -- Punkrockjournalist5432 (talk) 22:49, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

I would recommend looking for multiple citations that identify metal as a main genre for the band. (ex: "metal band One OK Rock"). Then there would be an established criteria for making that change.

That said, their sound has gone a bit "pop" in the last few years, so relevant sources might be hard to come by.-- GimmeChoco44 (talk) 03:28, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

There's a few more sources, two of them appear to categorize their 2015 album 35xxv as "heavy metal". I guess it can work for a "musical style" but not a 'main' genre since they've changed their sound throughout the years, mainly at a post-hardcore/alternative rock style, but yeah you're right, their sound has been pop in the last few years, so I suggest that a musical style section should be added if it's seen as a style of music rather than a main genre.

example 1 • example 2 • example 3

--Punkrockjournalist5432 (talk) 17:51, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure these sources would really be strong enough to merit tipping the overall band genre to "heavy metal". If you feel that a Musical Style section is justified, you'd have to find a balance of sources for each style. -- GimmeChoco44 (talk) 18:54, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

RFC: Page Name - One Ok Rock or One OK Rock

I'd like to propose a vote for consensus on the name of this page. We've had two versions come and go at different points: (a) One Ok Rock (with the mixed capitalization of "Ok") and (b) One OK Rock (with the standardized western capitalization of "OK"). To avoid possible edit warring and to allow a positive discussion on this topic, let's please establish a majority vote.
--I'm tagging the recent editors of this page (from the past three months) to alert them to this discussion: @EthanRossie2000:, @Ss112:, @10969milo:,@Yohanesbs:, @KiaG0327:, @GoingBatty:, @Walter Görlitz:, @Toshiki1164:, @Mxhyn16:, @C.Fred:

• Support "One OK Rock" -- for three reasons:
  

(1) "OK" is recognized as standard Wikipedia spelling for this phrase -- ["OK"]. For use here in the English version of Wikipedia, it's better to avoid confusion with an unintentional pronunciation (ex: "auck" or "oak").

(2) You can hear vocalist Taka clearly pronounce "OK" at the start of this interview video; so it best serves the interest of Wikipedia readers to see the "OK" term presented in the way that immediately conveys the intended pronunciation.

(3) All printed and published materials by the band use the standard capitalization of "OK".

Note: I'm well aware that the band members pronounce the name differently in Japanese-language interviews (they use the Japanese katakana-phonetic "one o'clock" styling), and that distinction should definitely be made clear in the body of the page. But as editors of the English Wikipedia, I feel that it's our duty to serve the needs of the English readers by giving them a clear starting point. -- I look forward to hearing other editor's views. -- Thanks -- GimmeChoco44 (talk) 09:40, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

• Support "One Ok Rock". I've seen the interview footage linked of Taka above, but this appears to be how the band say their name in English language interviews, given they say the phonetic variation of "one o'clock" in Japan, where they are originally from. The Japanese intention seems significantly more important for a Japanese band than what seems like "let's just say 'one okay rock' because that's probably what English speakers are going to call us anyway" in practise. It sounds like localised intent of something that began with a different intent, akin to how BTS gave themselves the English backronym of "Beyond the Scene" hoping that it would catch on. With what I've seen, I don't see any consistency in English-language sources. Most sources stylise the band's name in all caps ("ONE OK ROCK"), and don't appear to only put "OK" in all caps (e.g. "One OK Rock"). Inconsistency is another reason to support not just putting "OK" in all caps. Ss112 16:48, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
• Lower case 'k'. The literature has not settled consistently on capital K which means Wikipedia defaults to sentence case as usual for proper names. Binksternet (talk) 16:58, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
• Comment @GimmeChoco44: My edits to this article have solely been to fix incorrect links. I don't know how reliable sources capitalize the name of this band. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 01:17, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
• "One Ok Rock" because their name comes from "one o'clock" and that's the original pronunciation in Japanese. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 10969milo (talk • contribs) 17:07, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Update: Looks like the consensus supports keeping the lowercase k. Until there's something direct from the band to contradict, I'll concede the point. Thanks everyone for a civil discourse. --GimmeChoco44 (talk) 15:45, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
